"Pillar of Defense (Cloud)" - Israel & Hamas Agree to Gaza Cease Fire

how to fuck is israel winning? they struck an unbelievable 2000 ''terror'' targets so far, yet hamas is still pounding israel with dozens and dozens of rockets since monday morning. they have to go in. if they don't, then they will look weak forever. if they do, then they will lose support all over the world. they already lost. israel is nothing anymore.

Now this is something to work with, even tho is a muzzie rambling with little meaning.

What you (and we) need to ask, is not HOW Hamas keeps firing missiles after 1,350 (not 2,000) have been hit, but WHY Israel let them do that?

Now, there are only TWO logical answers :1.Israel is UNABLE to destroy all launchers2.Israel DOES NOT WANT to destroy all launchers.

If 1., it means that Egypt is either suplying Hamas with missiles, either close the eyes when others (Hezbollah, Iran) supply Hamas.In this case, no cease-fire, Israel will HAVE to go to the source, otherwise Hamas will keep fire.This means land invasion of Gaza and most likely occupation.

If 2., Israel is trying (dunno if will succed) to lure Hezbollah into attacking, because, well, Israel can't deal with little Hamas.However, only looking like unable, Hezbollah might not bite it.So, no cease-fire, land invasion of Gaza, provoking this way Hezbollah to stop talking and start acting.

I believe that we are witnessing an Israeli master plan (if will succed, or not, we will see) to deal with BOTH Hamas and Hezbollah, while occupying at least the egyptian side of Gaza, for a total blockade.This in order to strike Iran, ofc.

Or the answer could be:They need to destroy everything around them, so they only have one front to focus on. The retaliation attack from Iran, after they strike the nuclear facilities in iran

Do you see this war as bigger than in 2008/9 or more important than 2008/9?

Well the situation is very different than in 2008, a lot more players will be involved now because all the dictators in the region (that war loyal to the west) have now fallen and been replaced by the muslim brotherhood !

Typical, the Israeli could sink a US Navy ship and you would still find excuses for Israel. Or wait...USS Liberty. Americans are incredible. Most suffer from convenient amnesia wrt Israel.

I support Israel. You don't know what you are talking about. Israel is a friend of this nation and we worship Israel's God. Of course, I am going to defend her. If you had any loyalty to something besides yourself, you might understand that.

Whatever, done with reli tards that keep confusing their God with the one that is worshipped by the Israeli. By your definition of friendship it is saver to be a distant neighbor. Will never understand. Google Israel and examples of its betrayal wrt USA. You may continue making conclusions to your own advantage.

The decision about the expansion of the IDF operation in Gaza to a possible ground offensive will be made within a day or two, Minister Silvan Shalom said Monday.

The minister further added, "A decision will be made in a day or two. There is a clear plan for a ground deployment as well as a partial entrance alternative. Another alternative is full deployment and an exit at a later stage. It is also possible we'll go in and stay there.
